  • Patent number: 8328364
    Abstract: A projection display apparatus includes an axial fan and a louver. The axial fan includes blades which are rotated to generate an airflow in an axial direction so that air is exhausted from a housing. The louver includes inclined plate portions which are inclined with respect to the axial direction, the inclined plate portions being arranged in a direction perpendicular to the axial direction at an airflow exit side of the axial fan, the louver being divided into a first area and a second area by a straight line which passes through an axial center of the blades, the inclined plate portions being inclined in different directions between the first area and the second area such that the inclined plate portions are inclined along the direction in which the blades are rotated.

  • Publication number: 20100091251
    Abstract: A heat dissipating device for an electronic apparatus includes an enclosure that houses a component of the electronic apparatus which becomes hot when the electronic apparatus is in use, the enclosure being made of a heat conductive material capable of dissipating heat in the enclosure to the outside, a heat receiving member provided between the component and the enclosure and capable of receiving heat from the component and transferring the received heat, a heat insulating member provided in contact with a side of the heat receiving member opposite from the component and configured to prevent transmission of the heat received by the heat receiving member, and a heat diffusing member provided between the heat insulating member and the enclosure in contact with both the heat insulating member and the enclosure and capable of receiving heat from the heat insulating member and diffusing the received heat into the enclosure.
